Nice work, Ian, thanks.
Your listings really do help those coming new to the bike and wondering what the options are for exhausts.
Other than finding the mother lode of parts stashes, with the storeman saying 'NOS exhausts, sir? how many would you like?'
Then I woke up :-)

Fred in Ontario came through for me with a translation of the Reimo catalogue and so is now the proud owner of a very limited edition of the smiling buffalo crest - my thanks to him for his help ! For those interested in checking out an early 1970's catalogue from Reimo of Germany that covers the parts and also services that went into their 750 GTR version of the GT750, just scroll down this page to the Reimo section and then click on the thumbnails for larger views of the German and English translation pages.

Even though I haven't got a GT750 (yet!) it does make a very interesting read.
My 550(s) share some parts and unfortunately there doesn't seem to be anything like this for that model.
I can't see me ever having the time or patience to do it, but maybe someone else has started the project.
I can appreciate the (weeks of) effort that has gone into all that labour of love and can just reiterate the thanks that others have already left.

Hi another film with a GT750 is Knightriders which is about a Medievel Troop
Jousting on Motorbikes.
Starred Ed Harris and if remember the Lawyer rode around on GT750, the Main man
Ed Harris was on a CBX1000.

I don't think that's an OEM horn under the fairing. Looks after market tat to me from a B model to me.

You are right, although you'd barely recognise it. Looks to be a K possibly ? Just spent what seemed a very, very, very long time watching the film - not very good is it ? :roll:

Here is a still I captured from the film - I have added it to the list (at this link: http://www.oldjapanesebikes.com/GT750_f ... e/page-A65) . 8-)
